Leave Artur Boruc alone says the first holy goalie!

So an obvious question for John - what does he think of the guy who wears his shirt today? "Artur Boruc? Ach, leave the big man alone!" said John with a grin. "He's not the first Celtic goalie to bless himself at Ibrox, I used to do it years ago. It annoys me the grief that the big man gets from the idiots these days- when I did it years ago a lot of the Rangers fans used to jeer and laugh but it didn't really bother them. They'd shout at you and you'd just wave back or give them the fingers but it wasn't a big deal. Nowadays they are moaning and groaning at everything Artur does."

Return to Lisbon
"He's under so much scrutiny. Last week he's getting it over his new tattoo. Okay it's right down his neck and even my wife says 'John, what's that? Is that a tattoo on his neck?' I told her it's in Japanese and I think Nakamura put it on him." laughed the original Holy Goalie. "But, seriously, the attention Artur gets is a farce, everything he does is scrutinised. He's made mistakes but who hasn't? He's made bloomers but name me a goalkeeper who hasn't made bloomers."
